(1) This regulation applies to a tractor that conveys its power directly to the ground by wheels, but does not apply to a tractor—

(a) manufactured in, or imported into, Victoria before 1 July 1981 if it is not reasonably practicable to fit roll-over protection to the tractor; or

(b) used at a workplace in circumstances in which there is no likelihood of the tractor overturning; or

(c) that is fitted with roll-over protection that has been temporarily removed or lowered for the period during which it is being used under a tree or other vegetation or in another place where there is insufficient space for the tractor to operate effectively while the roll‑over protection is fitted; or

(d) weighing less than 560 kilograms, the weight being taken in the lightest form in which the tractor is normally available for retail sale when new and without water, fuel or lubricating oil.

(2) An employer or self-employed person must ensure that a tractor is not used at the employer or self-employed person's workplace unless it is fitted with roll-over protection.
